Modification & Enforcement of Orders in the San Fernando Valley

Need to Modify a California Child Custody Order? Call Us!

Child custody and visitation orders are determined based on circumstances
as they stand when the parents' marriage is dissolved. The goal is to
establish a parenting schedule that is in the best interests of the child
while giving both parents an appropriate level of parental access.

However, circumstances can and do change over time, and if those changes
are substantial, there may be grounds to modify a child custody order.
One of the more common situations that may result in child custody modification
is when one parent seeks to relocate—often called a "move-away."

The San Fernando Valley family law attorneys of Joel S. Seidel & Associates
have handled many cases involving the modification of child custody orders,
and we have the knowledge, experience, and compassion to handle the most
complex of modification situations, including interstate and international
move-aways.

Contact our firm today at (818) 435-3773 and schedule an initial consultation
to get started with your case.

Child Support Enforcement & Modification

When a parent loses a job or receives an increase in income, a modification of
child support may be sought in accordance with the California Child Support Guidelines.
These guidelines take into account the gross incomes of both parents,
along with other information, to determine the right amount of child support
to be paid. However, there are many instances in which one parent fails
to comply with the terms of a child support order. In these cases, there
are numerous tools available to ensure payment or collection.

We encourage you to seek counsel from the San Fernando Valley child support
lawyers of Joel S. Seidel & Associates if you have concerns about
any of these matters.

Modification of Spousal Support Orders

A California spousal support order is considered final at the time of the
dissolution of the marriage. However, California law allows for adjustments in
spousal support when, over time, there are substantial changes with regard to the factors
used to determine the support payments. Most of the time, these modifications
are based on changes in income, either for the paying party or the receiving party.

If there have been any substantial changes in the circumstances related
to your divorce, such that your spousal support arrangements may no longer
be appropriate, then a modification may be in order.
